OG Bitcoin whales are dumping BTC for Zcash, not because of market cycles, but because of fear.

Following the Roger Ver plea deal and the newly demonstrated IRS wallet-tracing capabilities, early Bitcoin holders are panicking over old, unreported gains, potential indictment exposure, and the upcoming 1099-DA reporting rules. In this video, Clinton Donnelly breaks down the tax panic driving BTC’s decline and Zcash’s sudden 10x surge.

📌 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Bitcoin’s recent drop is not a normal four-year cycle.

OG whales are shifting massive BTC positions into Zcash because:
• Wallet tracing now exposes decade-old tax issues
• Roger Ver’s plea deal revealed the IRS can fully reconstruct old portfolios
• 1099-DA will expose exchange flows automatically starting January
• CARF expands wallet reporting worldwide
• Using an old BTC wallet today can expose all historical activity

This BTC → ZEC rollover is a short-term privacy maneuver, but it carries its own audit risks. Clinton Donnelly explains the tax mechanics, the legal exposure, and what traders must do to protect themselves.
